Sometimes you get that new Nike itch and you just gotta scratch it. Here are my top picks from Nike.com. Can y’all help me pick out what to get? Poll ends tomorrow at noon. I’ll be placing me order soon after. Thanks. Y’all rock.

Happy New Year, Folks! I know it’s trite to claim that last year was the best one yet… but last year was the best one yet. I got freakin’ engaged, traveled all over the US, and picked up a few great kicks along the way. Thanks for tagging along with me through fortheloveofnike. Y’all rock. Cheers to 2015, my friends!

The Holiday Season is always better with a visit to an art museum, especially when showing the ‘rents around Pittsburgh for the first time. The Carnegie Museum of Art has a great permanent collection and rotating exhibits. It’s no wonder since it’s been around since 1895. In fact, it was among the first of America’s modern art museums– created by Andrew Carnegie to be a tribute to the “Old Masters of tomorrow.”

The city of Nashville and what is considered to be “music country” is located in the north central region of Tennessee, nestled into the Cumberland River. It has a sweet skyline and the downtown area is easy to get around on foot. If you travel down Broadway towards the river, you’ll hear live country music pouring out of every bar and saloon. Contrary to belief, even if you’re not a country fan, Nashville is still a fun city. Trust me, I have […]

I know, I know, it’s incredibly cliché to start off a post with a definition, but bare with me. sneakerhead /ˈsnēkərˌhed/ (noun) 1. A person who is inexplicably obsessed with sneakers, rarely seen wearing any other shoe form, willing to spend far too much money on footwear, and way too eager to talk about it. 2. A person with a sneaker for a head. So maybe I made that up, but either way you look at it, I guess I am a real […]

Glacier National Park is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life. It’s made up of around a million gorgeous acres spanning the upper portion of Montana all the way up to Canada. Glacial movements a really long time ago created the natural wonders of the area. If you know me, you know rocks are one of my great loves. Notice the pigment in the pictures above of the giant boulders and rock fragments. WOAH. The […]

I would post Montana pictures everyday if I could. Here are a few more snap shots from my trip. I thought I’d share a few of the travel hacks I’ve picked up over the years. The idea is to pack as light and smart as possible. Keep it simple and only bring along necessary items. Think about it, when you take a trip– what’s important to you? my travel essentials: a comfy pair of sneakers that are good for lots […]

Tinsley House in Bozeman, MT is over 100 years old, and life goes on about as if no time has passed since the day it was built. The entire structure was moved from its original location of Willow Creek so it could be near the Museum of the Rockies. A staff, dressed in the traditional garb of the day, runs the homestead. Fresh pies are baked daily, a metal smith and carpenter are on staff, maintaing the property, and the […]

Yellowstone is one of the oldest national parks in the world. President Ulysses S. Grant signed it into law in 1872. The park stretches across Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, with scattered geothermic features spread across the land. Old Faithful, the most famous of the attractions, is a geyser that erupts every 91 minutes. I have to say that my favorite site in the park is The Grand Prismatic Spring, which is appropriately named. It’s the 3rd largest hot spring in the world, […]

I’m big on birthdays. I mean big. I’m not sure why. It’s not like I hope for huge mind-blowing presents or anything like that. It’s just so exciting to have a day where everyone congratulates you for being born and hanging around for another year. I also like dragging the special days out for as long as possible– to milk it for all it’s worth. It only comes once a year after all. Now my birthday is in August, so this post […]
